💨 Abstract

In Belgrade, European Council President António Costa addressed Serbia's President Aleksandar Vucic's recent trip to Moscow for Victory Day ceremonies. While criticizing the visit, Costa affirmed Serbia's commitment to EU accession. Vucic, who has close ties with both Russia and China, defended his attendance, citing historical and cultural ties. Serbia, which relies heavily on Russia for energy, has not joined Western sanctions against Russia over the Ukraine invasion.
